New York, August 20, 2014--The Committee to Protect Journalists is extremely concerned for all journalists, most of them Syrians, still held captive by the Al-Qaeda splinter group Islamic State, which has repeatedly kidnapped, killed, and threatened journalists in the territories over which it holds sway. President Barack Obama confirmed today that the group is responsible for the barbaric murder of U.S. freelance journalist James Foley.

It is increasingly difficult to document
violations against the press in Syria, let alone hold those responsible to
account. It has always been hard to verify facts within the country. But now,
the sheer number of violations and the expanding list of violators have become admittedly
overwhelming.
